Fresh strawberry cake

very ripe fresh strawberries- 200-250gm
1/4 cup milk
6 eggs
2.5 cups of maida
2 cups of sugar
1teaspon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Butter 200 gm. softened

  1. Cut the strawberries and add sprinkle some sugar on it.. to soften it. Then run it in a mixer along with sugar to make a puree .. set aside some pieces to add into the dough as such as well as to decorate.
  2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees and prepare pans: spread a thin layer of butter throughout the pan and sprinkle some flour else you can use butter paper.
  3. Combine puree, milk, beaten eggs, mix with fork until well blended.
  4. Then in another bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Then fold in the butter. Now add in the liquid mixture and hand beat for 2-5 mins.
  5. Add the cut pieces of strawberry to the dough mixture.Divide the batter evenly among two pans and smoothen the tops.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the cake is done. Let cakes cool completely.

The cake had amazing texture and taste.. :)However, the icing that I tried to make was mostly a disaster..I tried to make the icing for the cake with strawberry puree, gelatin, cream and icing sugar.. what I got was more like a pudding :(.. so any suggestion for making the icing for the cake ppl ?
